3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cabbage
  • 2 cups cooked barley
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook cabbage in boiling water just until outer leaves pull away easily from head. Set aside 10 large leaves for rolls. (Refrigerate remaining cabbage for another use.) Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the barley, garlic, onion, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, ginger, salt and pepper. Crumble pork over mixture and mix well.
  2. 2
    Cut out the thick vein from the bottom of each leaf, making a V-shaped cut. Place about 1/2 cup pork mixture on a cabbage leaf; overlap cut ends of leaf. Fold in sides. Beginning from the cut end, roll up. Repeat. Place rolls, seam side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
  3. 3
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sauce ingredients; cook and stir until smooth. Pour over rolls. Cover and bake at 350° for 80-90 minutes or a thermometer reads 160°.
